How does the treatment reduce Hyperhidrosis?
The doctor injects Botulinum toxin into the affected area in order to prevent the sweat glands from overproducing sweat. Sweat glands are stimulated by nerves that release a chemical called acetylcholine and cause sweat production. Botulinum toxin, when injected into the vicinity of the sweat glands, blocks the release of the acetylcholine, thereby temporarily reducing or abolishing sweat production.
